Memories

Well the weather is terrible here today, so I have had a lovely easy day.... Lot's of crafting and playing....

I felt so privileged to have been chose of one of top three at lasting memories this week that I thought i would enter the new challenge,,,,
As you can see from the challenge here at lasting memories the brief was a bit of pink, some lace and some ribbon with an optional layout to follow....
Well today, I had been thinking of my dad a lot whilst going through my photo's. He died 27 yrs ago when I was a teenager, after an extremely long and debillitating illness, but the photo's I have chosen, although I never knew him back then, are the images I choose to remember him by... as a young good looking and healthy man.

As my dad was ill all of my childhood, I suppose I never really got to know him as a person... It still feels painful that he never got to see his grandchildren whom I know he would have been terribly proud of.

So here is my tribute to my wonderful dad,... the lace is subtle... as are the flowers and ribbon, but he did love flowers and I feel that often we shy away from using flowers and certain colours (pink) on male projects... so I hope you enjoy....

 oooo very pleased to say this layout was featured at Lasting Memories Layout Challenge....  So much skill and creativity over there... wow!!
